Discovering Phuket

There is a lot to see of Phuket away from its pretty beaches. This guided tour takes you inland to Phuket Town, home to the small enclave of Phuket Old Town which is brimming with Sino-Portuguese architecture. Exploring this part of the island takes one back to yesteryear when Phuket was in the midst of a tin boom that brought its initial affluence and its grand architecture. Afterwards then head to Phromthep Cape which has sublime views across the water, making it a popular photography spot. Next continue on to the island’s biggest temple and then stop off the Gems Gallery, home to an extensive range of precious stones and an interesting aquarium. The magnificent ‘Gems Gallery Ride’ provides an insight into how gemstones are mined.
